The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked back into the distant past, in truth as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient 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 making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
