The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and asafoetida. For the next few years, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of the TV brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
