The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `wonderful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the early Romans made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations caused an increase in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
