The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in Sumerian which show the making 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. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, rue and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
