The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes back into the far past, in fact as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are some ancient tablets in 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 tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times used many different herbs, including many that are still in use today like thyme, fennel and dill. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of the West strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
