The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of 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 making those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, rue and parsley. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
