The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be observed way back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making 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. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the ancient cooks used a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as bay, rue and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on our web site. |
