The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, these, early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in 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 having made those who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted an explosion in cookery books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few hundred years, the families of Europe strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
