The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into distant history, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making 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. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times used many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and asafoetida. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to an increase in recipe manuscripts, most of which are now in private libraries. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of television brought us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
