The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking 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`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman cooks made use of many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and dill. For the decades that followed, the powerful and rich competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 1800s that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are in high demand, as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and being a little richer. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
