The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in Sumerian 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise such as basil, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications were starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
