The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the far past, at least as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he recounts how the chefs of Roman times made use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, rue and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications are in high demand, as a result of better eduction, leisure time and being a little richer. |
