The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 wonderful and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
