The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes far back into history, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which show the baking 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 blissful and exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many spices, 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 competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
