The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are some 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
