The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` back into the far past, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of clay 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 having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. The revolution that is television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on our site. |
