The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, in truth as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names like bay, rue and parsley. For the next few years, the powerful and wealthy tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on our site. |
