The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into ancient history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery books are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
