The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into the far past, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in 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 anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices, including many that are still in use today like bay, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in private libraries. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
