The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced far back into distant history, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times used a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an explosion in cookery books, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
