The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, certainly as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are some tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. The TV revolution gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this site. |
