The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some clay tablets in Sumerian which show 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 `blissful`. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example basil, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an outbreak in books on cookery, some of which are now in academic collections. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy tried to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our site. |
