The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of 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 making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something we still use today. He also describes how the Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an increase in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private collections. For the next few years, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
