The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of his times made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy strove to serve the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television gave us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
