The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused a torrent in manuscripts on cooking, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the rich families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
