The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes back into the distant past, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are a few tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
