The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed back into distant history, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes prompted an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. During the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
