The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are a few tablets in Sumerian describing the baking 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 tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as basil, mint and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the families of Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
