The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of his times made use of many aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, mint and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
