The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` back into history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman cooks made use of many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like bay, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes led to an outbreak in books on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
