The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes back into the far past, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from the East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes created a surge in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
