The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into antiquity, in truth as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these early records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. The TV revolution brings us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
