The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, these, old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the making 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 wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example basil, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created a torrent in recipe publications, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
