The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of recipes way back into antiquity, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman chefs used many spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as basil, rue and dill. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
