The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, at least as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, rue and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. Like it or not, the introduction of television brought us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, permitting everyone to access thousands of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
