The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation 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 wonderful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the Roman cooks used a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private collections. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
