The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes way back into history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in 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 anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs used many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, mint and dill. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
