The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, mint and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to serve the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books are highly popular due to increased literacy, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
