The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise such as bay, rue and asafoetida. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to lay on the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books are increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
