The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and dill. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books were starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
