The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into the distant past, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like basil, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were in high demand, as a result of better eduction, leisure time and having more money to spend. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
