The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including some that we all recognise like thyme, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a surge in books on cookery, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
