The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` back into history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the early Romans made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of the West tried to offer the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
