The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed far back into history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few stone tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote 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 starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including a few you will know like thyme, fennel and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and coriander. These new foods and spices prompted a torrent in books on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. During the next few centuries, the powerful and rich tried to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
