The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into the far past, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of Roman times used many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example basil, mint and dill. Over the following few centuries, the powerful and rich competed to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are in great demand, due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
