The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in 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 people feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as thyme, fennel and dill. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. Like it or not, the introduction of TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
