The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. However, these, old records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the early Romans made use of a wide range of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, mint and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books are greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. The arrival of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
