The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, rue and dill. During the next few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
