The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early records were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 drank it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs was responsible for a surge in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cook books were starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money. The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
