The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, fennel and dill. During the following few centuries, the upper classes strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. The revolution that is television gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
