The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef tells us how the Roman chefs made use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and dill. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books were greatly in demand due to increased literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
