The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed back into antiquity, in truth as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old records were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are a few 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 blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, mint and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
