The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making 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 `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman chefs made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, fennel and dill. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
