The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. The arrival of television brings us cooking programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
