The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into antiquity, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are a few tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, something we still use today. He also recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example basil, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices led to an eruption in cookery books, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
