The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into history, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient cooks used many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like bay, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books were increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and disposable income. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
