The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes back into history, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and dill. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of the West strove to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications were greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and being a little richer. The introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
