The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone 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 having made drinkers feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books were in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, leisure time and disposable income. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
