The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman chefs made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab countries, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an outbreak in cookery books, most of which are now in private libraries. Over the following few hundred years, the upper classes competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. 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 publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery books are in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
