The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making 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. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including many that are still in use today like thyme, rue and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
