The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into the distant past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks used a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created a torrent in books on cooking, most of which are now in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. The arrival of TV brought us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting everyone to search through thousands of recipes just like those on our web site. |
