The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a torrent in books on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
