The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes far back into the far past, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
