The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient 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 those who drank it feel blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different spices, including a few you will know for example thyme, mint and dill. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and rich houses strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books are greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
