The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found way back into antiquity, at least as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 people feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications were in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like those on this site. |
