The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the Romans used many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, rue and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
