The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and parsley. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
