The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs prompted a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are now in private libraries. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
