The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `blissful`. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the chefs of Roman times used many different herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including parsley and basil. These new foods and spices caused an explosion in books on cooking, some of which are now in academic collections. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
