The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes far back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the Roman chefs used a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cook books were greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and having more money. |
