The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into distant history, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, rue and parsley. For the next few years, the powerful and wealthy competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books were in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
