The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes back into history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 drinkers feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient Romans used a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, rue and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an explosion in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
