The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation 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 wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, rue and dill. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West tried to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
