The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old records were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in ancient 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 anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the early Romans used many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, mint and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created an explosion in books on cooking, some of which still exist in academic collections. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of the West competed to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 1900s, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
