The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of his times used many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an explosion in publications on food, some of which are now in academic collections. During the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications are highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought 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 everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
