The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are a few tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the powerful and rich tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. The revolution that is television gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
