The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some 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 having made those who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and dill. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
