The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes way back into history, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making drinkers feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient cooks made use of many different spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and dill. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
