The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed far back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs made use of many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices was responsible for a surge in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and rich tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, more free time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
