The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, these, old records were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few clay tablets in Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in cookery books, most of which still exist in private libraries. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications were in high demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
