The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these early records were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the ancient cooks used a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know for example basil, fennel and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks were starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
