The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes back into history, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few clay 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 drinkers feel exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also informs us how the early Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe publications are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
