The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed back into antiquity, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the early Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like bay, rue and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more free time and having more money. The arrival of TV brought us TV cooks and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
