The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient chefs used many different aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and asafoetida. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
