The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, these, early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, mint and dill. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of the TV gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
