The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in 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 making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the early Romans used many spices, including a few you will know such as thyme, fennel and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
