The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into the far past, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and dill. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. The introduction of the TV brings us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as this. |
