The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into the distant past, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, old records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times used many different spices, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few centuries, the upper classes strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books are greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, people having more free time and having more money. |
