The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs made use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cookery books were increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
