The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few 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 having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the Romans made use of many aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brought us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
