The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in Sumerian which show the making 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. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, mint and parsley. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing popular recipes of the day. The revolution that is television brought us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
