The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, fennel and parsley. During the next few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
