The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. He also tells us how the Romans made use of many spices, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
