The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, old records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and dill. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of the West tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books are increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
