The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are a few stone tablets in ancient 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 making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like bay, mint and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The TV revolution brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
