The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into antiquity, in fact as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these old records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into starters, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the ancient Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as bay, mint and dill. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
