The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like basil, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy land, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an increase in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
