The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the distant past, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the Romans made use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and parsley. During the next few hundred years, the upper classes competed to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and cookery books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are highly popular due to better eduction, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
