The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of written recipes way back into history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation 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 wonderful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes 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`. This early Roman chef tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, fennel and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on this site. |
