The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like basil, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices prompted an eruption in books on cookery, most of which are now in academic collections. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West strove to offer the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
