The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be traced way back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early records were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are a few tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, mint and dill. For the decades that followed, the upper classes competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
