The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled some documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted an explosion in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The TV revolution brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
