The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes back into the far past, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like basil, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
