The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, these, early recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the Romans used a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks were in great demand, due to better eduction, people having more free time and having more money. The TV revolution gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
