The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making drinkers feel `wonderful`. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of the West competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
