The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel exhilarated. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs used a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an explosion in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
