The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of stone 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 people feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the early Romans made use of many spices, including some familiar names such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including basil and coriander. These new culinary innovations created a surge in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were highly popular due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
