The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing 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`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused a surge in books on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private collections. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books are starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. The arrival of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
