The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 having made anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, more spare time and having more money to spend. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
