The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the Roman chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like bay, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were highly popular due to better eduction, people having more spare time and disposable income. |
