The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed back into distant history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient cooks made use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
