The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes back into history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs, including some familiar names like bay, fennel and dill. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
