The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in ancient 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 making drinkers feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks used a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created a surge in manuscripts on food, some of which are now in private collections. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
