The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the far past, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as basil, mint and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an explosion in recipe manuscripts, most of which are now in academic collections. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and being a little richer. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
