The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation 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 blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, mint and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an eruption in recipe manuscripts, some of which are now in academic collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
