The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, fennel and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
