The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found way back into history, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, generally, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel blissful. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes prepared by the Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
