The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 drinkers feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like basil, rue and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books are in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and being a little richer. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
