The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 those who drank it feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an eruption in books on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books were greatly in demand mostly due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more money. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
