The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, at least as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the Roman cooks made use of many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes prompted a surge in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
