The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed far back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of his times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted a torrent in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal 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, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
