The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the Romans used many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and dill. For the centuries that followed, the upper-class families of the West tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and having more money. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
