The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into the far past, at least as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. The TV revolution gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this site. |
