The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a surge in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books are in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and disposable income. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
