The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the ancient chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, recipe books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
