The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the making 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 drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices, including some familiar names like bay, rue and parsley. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
