The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation 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 tried it feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the early Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and dill. For the next few years, the powerful and rich houses tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. 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 our site. |
