The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into the distant past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these old cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 people feel `wonderful`. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the Roman chefs made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The TV revolution brought us TV cooks and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
