The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 having made drinkers feel `wonderful`. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the Romans used many herbs, including a few you will know like basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and spices from Arab countries, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an increase in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
