The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these old records were just simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices caused an increase in books on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West strove to serve up the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
