The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 people feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the rich families of the West strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
