The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early records were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of his times used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and parsley. During the next few centuries, the powerful and rich competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The revolution that is television gave us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
