The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into distant history, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in ancient 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 and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of a good variety of herbs, including some familiar names for example thyme, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created a torrent in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books are greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
