The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes far back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and dill. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
