The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these early recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans used many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, fennel and dill. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. The arrival of television brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
