The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into distant history, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these old cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 tried it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, fennel and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe books were in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
