The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an outbreak in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books are starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
