The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old records were just very basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few clay tablets in ancient 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 making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and dill. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
