The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in Sumerian describing the baking 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 wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of Roman times used many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, rue and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
