The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
