The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and parsley. For the next few years, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
