The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an eruption in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private collections. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books are starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
