The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
