The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the early Romans made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an outbreak in recipe books, most of which are now in private libraries. For the next few years, the upper-class families of the West strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
