The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few 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 having made people feel blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an explosion in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
