The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes back into history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as bay, mint and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are starting to become popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much 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 our site. |
