The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found back into antiquity, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an eruption in books on cooking, some of which are kept safe in private collections. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications were in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
