The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` back into the far past, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient 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 having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, mint and dill. For the next few years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
