The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes far back into distant history, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and parsley. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
