The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced far back into distant history, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 people feel blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient cooks used many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab countries, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for a surge in recipe books, many of which still exist in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
