The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman cooks used many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names like thyme, rue and dill. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books were increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
