The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced far back into history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making 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 exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals were divided into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the early Romans made use of many aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy strove to serve the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The TV revolution gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
