The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of recipes back into history, certainly as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay 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 drinkers feel `blissful`. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as basil, rue and parsley. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books were highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
