The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into history, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and parsley. During the following few centuries, the powerful and rich houses competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
