The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing 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 drinkers feel blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in private libraries. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. The introduction of television gave us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on sites such as this. |
