The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, in fact as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these old records were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the upper classes competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The arrival of TV gave us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
