The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel exhilarated and blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius compiled some documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications were in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and having more money. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
