The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into the far past, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making 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 exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books are starting to become popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and disposable income. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
