The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are some tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the Romans made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, fennel and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
