The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to a torrent in publications on food, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
