The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of his times used many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private collections. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
