The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes back into the distant past, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the chefs of Roman times used many herbs, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and dill. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
