The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed back into distant history, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the ancient cooks used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, rue and asafoetida. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of the West tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
