The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made people feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the early Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking books are highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our site. |
