The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into antiquity, at least as far as early Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking 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 wonderful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many different aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise such as bay, mint and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. When we get to the 1900s, cookery books were in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and having more disposable income. |
