The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the early Romans made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to a surge in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in academic collections. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books are in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. The introduction of the TV brought us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
