The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found way back into distant history, in truth as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, old records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 drinkers feel blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
