The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into the far past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also informs us how the early Romans used many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private libraries. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books were in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money. |
