The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the cooks of his times used a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, rue and dill. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
