The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, mint and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
