The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed back into ancient history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of tablets in ancient 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, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, rue and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and disposable income. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
