The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times used many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, mint and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West tried to serve the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. The introduction of television brought us celebrity chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like those on our web site. |
