The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking 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 `wonderful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the early Romans used many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, rue and dill. During the next few centuries, the families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on this recipe site. |
