The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into distant history, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, old recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some clay 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 having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans used many different herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example basil, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were highly popular due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and having more money. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
