The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into antiquity, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old records were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of his times used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. During the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books were in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more money to spend. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
