The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into the far past, in fact as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the families of Europe strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks were starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
