The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making 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 wonderful and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the ancient cooks made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. For the next few years, the powerful and rich houses strove to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. 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 collating, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
