The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed way back into ancient history, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking 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 tried it feel `wonderful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The arrival of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
