The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found far back into history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to academics are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich houses competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cook books were highly popular as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
