The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in Sumerian 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 making anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. He also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, mint and parsley. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
