The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman cooks used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as basil, rue and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the families of Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
