The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in 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 making people feel wonderful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the Romans used many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like thyme, rue and parsley. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, more free time and having more money to spend. |
