The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found far back into the far past, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few you will know like basil, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as basil and coriander. These new herbs and spices created an outbreak in books on cooking, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the following few centuries, the families of Europe strove to offer the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were greatly in demand mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more disposable income. |
