The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into history, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made people feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman cooks made use of many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names like basil, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices prompted an explosion in books on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are in great demand, as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and disposable income. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
