The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, these, old cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Romans made use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, fennel and asafoetida. For the next few years, the families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
