The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today for example basil, rue and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes created an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
