The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into distant history, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these old records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the ancient cooks made use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, rue and asafoetida. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and rich houses tried to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books were starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
