The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be observed way back into history, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient chefs used many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, fennel and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, more free time and having more disposable income. The arrival of TV brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
