The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be observed back into antiquity, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 people feel blissful. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
