The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation 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. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, rue and asafoetida. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from the East, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
