The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the Roman chefs used many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the families of Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. The TV revolution gave us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing us all to access thousands of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
