The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these early records were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 drank it feel `wonderful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
