The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into distant history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a series of stone 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, rue and parsley. Over the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. The TV revolution brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
