The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions far back into antiquity, at least as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are some tablets in ancient 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient cooks used a wide range of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like basil, fennel and parsley. During the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books are in high demand, due to better eduction, leisure time and having more disposable income. |
