The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, these, early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman cooks made use of many aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
