The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the Romans used many spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, mint and dill. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brings 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 everybody to access thousands of recipes like those on this web site. |
