The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel blissful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman chefs used a good variety of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an eruption in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of Europe tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
