The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into distant history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient 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 making anyone who drank it feel blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, rue and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper classes tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs 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, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
