The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of television gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
