The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 tried it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and dill. For the decades that followed, the families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
