The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into the far past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in Sumerian describing 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 blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient cooks made use of many spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, rue and parsley. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
