The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existance of recipes back into antiquity, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
