The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are a few clay 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 drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman chefs used a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
