The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs used many herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example basil, fennel and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. The TV revolution brought us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
