The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an outbreak in books on cookery, some of which are now in private libraries. For the decades that followed, the rich families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
