The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the chefs of Roman times used many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an increase in recipe publications, the majority of which still exist in private collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications were greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV 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 everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
