The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking 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 `wonderful`. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into starters, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, rue and parsley. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and disposable income. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
