The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes way back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which show 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 drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the chefs of Roman times used many spices, including a few you will know like bay, rue and dill. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West strove to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The revolution that is television brought us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
