The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed back into history, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the Roman chefs made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, mint and asafoetida. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
