The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced back into distant history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in 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 making drinkers feel wonderful. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, rue and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of TV brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
We hope you enjoy this Chorizo Con Huevos recipe.
