The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking 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 tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, mint and dill. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books are in great demand, as a result of better eduction, leisure time and being a little richer. The arrival of television gave us TV cookery programs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
