The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 tried it feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different spices, including many that are still in use today such as bay, rue and parsley. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
