The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found back into the distant past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman cooks used a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. For the decades that followed, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books were in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of television gave us cooking programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this recipe site. |
