The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series 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 drank it feel blissful. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the chefs of Roman times made use of many different spices, including many that are still in use today such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, more free time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
