The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes back into the distant past, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of 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 tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled some documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs used many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like thyme, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
