The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the distant past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example basil, rue and dill. For the centuries that followed, the upper classes competed to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more free time and a general increase in wealth. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
