The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient cooks used a good variety of herbs, including many that are still in use today such as basil, rue and dill. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books were in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
