The History of Recipes
Academics have traced the existence of recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient cooks used a good variety of spices, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking books are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The introduction of television brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
