The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of stone 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 having made anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the wealthy families of the West competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of television brought us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
