The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into ancient history, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these early cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius recounts how the Roman chefs made use of many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
