The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 `wonderful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, fennel and dill. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West tried to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
