The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an increase in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the following few centuries, the families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks were starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and having more money. The introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
