The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman cooks used a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
