The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into the far past, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation 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 wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular due to better eduction, more spare time and having more money. The TV revolution brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like those on this recipe site. |
