The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone 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 having made drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know like basil, rue and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV brought us TV cooks 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, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
