The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking 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 assembled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
