The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found far back into antiquity, in fact as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as thyme, mint and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cook books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. |
