The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed far back into history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 exhilarated and blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, mint and parsley. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe books are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
