The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. However, these, ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking 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 wonderful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the early Romans used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and dill. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe strove to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and disposable income. |
