The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making 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 exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few you will know like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are highly popular due to increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
