The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes competed to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
