The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of written recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking 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, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the Romans made use of many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like basil, rue and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
