The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and dill. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. The arrival of TV gave us TV cooks and the spin-off recipe books. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to access massive numbers of recipes such as those found on this site. |
