The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into distant history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking 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. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of herbs, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and parsley. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. Like it or not, the introduction of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
