The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the Roman cooks used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and asafoetida. For the centuries that followed, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books were highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
