The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced back into ancient history, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including some familiar names like bay, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an explosion in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
