The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an explosion in manuscripts on food, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications are in high demand, due to more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
