The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into the far past, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 people feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as basil, rue and dill. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money. |
