The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed way back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian describing 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. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times used many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the East, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
