The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of recipes far back into the far past, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 people feel exhilarated. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names like bay, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which 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 just like those on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Chickpea Salad recipe.
