The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
