The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans used many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and parsley. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. 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 the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
