The History of Recipes

It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are some clay tablets in 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 anyone who drank it feel `blissful`.

Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and dill.

During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cookery and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy.

By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money.
