The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into antiquity, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 drank it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example basil, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications were starting to become popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
