The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes far back into history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the Roman cooks used many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, mint and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books were in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
