The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman chefs made use of many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to serve the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
