The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few ancient 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 tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman cooks used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example bay, rue and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the upper-class families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and having more money to spend. The introduction of the TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on our site. |
