The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of 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 people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of his times made use of many spices and herbs, including a few you will know like bay, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an outbreak in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
