The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, rue and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an increase in publications on food, some of which are now in private collections. For the centuries that followed, the upper classes competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookbooks were in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more money. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
