The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed back into ancient history, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some ancient 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the Romans used many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like bay, fennel and dill. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of the West tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
