The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed far back into history, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are a few tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, fennel and dill. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
