The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into the distant past, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius describes how the Romans made use of many different spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, mint and asafoetida. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are greatly in demand mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
