The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, fennel and dill. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more money. The revolution that is television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on our web site. |
