The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early records were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language 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 anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the Roman cooks used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example basil, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a torrent in books on cookery, some of which are now in private cookery archives. For the decades that followed, the families of Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
