The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
