The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 drinkers feel exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the early Romans made use of many herbs, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations created an eruption in recipe publications, some of which still exist in private collections. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications were greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, increased leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
