The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of 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 having made people feel `blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times used many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking publications were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money. |
