The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and asafoetida. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks are in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, more free time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
