The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, in truth as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as thyme, fennel and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on sites such as this. |
