The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed way back into the far past, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in Sumerian which recount the making 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 blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and parsley. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are starting to become popular mostly as a result of better eduction, leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
