The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, these, old records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the cooks of his times used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like bay, rue and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books are in high demand, due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
