The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices was responsible for a surge in books on cooking, the majority of which are now in academic collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookbooks are in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
