The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, at least as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient records were just simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some ancient tablets in ancient 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 making people feel exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and parsley. For the next few years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books are in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day 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. |
