The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as bay, fennel and parsley. For the next few years, the rich families of Europe strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. The introduction of the TV brought us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
