The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the Roman cooks made use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations created an increase in manuscripts on food, some of which are now in private libraries. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, 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 well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The arrival of TV gave us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
