The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in ancient 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes cooked by the Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an increase in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
