The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these early cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the ancient chefs used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, fennel and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity TV chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on this site. |
