The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are a few 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of his times made use of many different spices, including some familiar names for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an explosion in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
