The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, early cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 people feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and asafoetida. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, leisure time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
