The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few tablets in Sumerian which show 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 tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the ancient Romans used a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Over the following few hundred years, the upper classes competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery books are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more free time and having more money to spend. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on this web site. |
