The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into distant history, certainly as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of 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 having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the Roman cooks used a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and rich competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this web site. |
