The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few clay tablets in 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 people feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to a torrent in publications on food, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
