The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into distant history, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, ancient records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are a few tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 people feel blissful. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient Romans used many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
