The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes far back into history, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of his times made use of many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example basil, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to a surge in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the decades that followed, the powerful and rich houses strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books were starting to become popular due to better eduction, people having more spare time and having more money. The arrival of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
