The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes way back into history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the early Romans made use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an eruption in publications on food, the majority of which are now in academic collections. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
