The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in ancient 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 having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, rue and asafoetida. During the next few hundred years, the upper classes competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
