The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the Romans made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and dill. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having more free time and having more disposable income. The arrival of television brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this site. |
