The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these early recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an outbreak in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. For the next few years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were in great demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
