The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and dill. During the next few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books were in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
