The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, early records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient cooks used many spices, including some familiar names like bay, fennel and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
