The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a series of stone 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 drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were highly popular as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and disposable income. |
