The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few ancient 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley and basil. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of television brings us TV cookery programs 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 us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
