The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes back into the distant past, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a series of tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `wonderful`. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the chefs of Roman times used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and parsley. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our site. |
