The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, rue and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a torrent in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
