The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, fennel and dill. Over the following few centuries, the wealthy families of the West tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
