The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the early Romans made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like bay, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
