The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into distant history, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as basil, mint and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books were starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
