The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into the far past, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking 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 tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. He also recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise such as bay, fennel and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs led to a surge in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the following few centuries, the families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
