The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 having made those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of spices, including some familiar names for example basil, rue and dill. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications are in high demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The revolution that is television brings us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
