The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are some stone tablets in 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 drank it feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an increase in books on cookery, most of which still exist in private libraries. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
