The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into history, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, mint and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
