The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of his times used a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an explosion in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Company Bloody Mary recipe.
