The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks made use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, rue and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of TV gave us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this web site. |
