The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are a few tablets in 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the Romans used many different spices, including many that are still in use today like bay, fennel and dill. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications were highly popular as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and disposable income. |
