The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, early cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation 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 blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the early Romans made use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
