The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into distant history, at least as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some 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 making people feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the Romans used a good variety of herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brings us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
