The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes way back into distant history, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, early records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to a surge in recipe books, many of which are now in academic collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
