The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, early records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an outbreak in books on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books are greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
