The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into the far past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius assembled some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including rosemary and coriander. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an explosion in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private collections. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
