The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of ancient 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 anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and parsley. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The TV revolution gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
