The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, in the main part, these ancient records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 drinkers feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an eruption in publications on food, many of which still exist in private libraries. Over the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications are in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, more free time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
