The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including some that we all recognise like basil, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused a surge in cookery books, many of which still exist in private libraries. During the next few centuries, the upper classes tried to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
