The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes way back into history, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, in the main part, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans made use of many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as basil, rue and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books were in high demand, due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more disposable income. Like it or not, 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 the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
