The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes far back into antiquity, certainly as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 drinkers feel blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans used many herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, rue and asafoetida. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of the West competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
