The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example thyme, mint and dill. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of the West competed to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of television brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
