The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks made use of many different herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example basil, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to a surge in books on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. The arrival of television gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
