The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking 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 `blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the early Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created an increase in recipe publications, most of which are now in private collections. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. 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 assembling, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
