The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into the distant past, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient cooks used a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to an outbreak in recipe publications, most of which are now in academic collections. During the next few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having more spare time and being a little richer. The revolution that is television brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
