The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making 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. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman cooks used many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
