The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and asafoetida. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous 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 the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books were in high demand, as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs 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, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
