The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into antiquity, at least as far as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are some clay 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of a wide range of spices, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs was responsible for a surge in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of TV brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
