The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these old records were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in Sumerian 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 making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of his times used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and dill. Over the following few hundred years, the families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks were in high demand, due to better eduction, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
