The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into distant history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection 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 having made drinkers feel `blissful`. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like bay, fennel and parsley. During the following few centuries, the powerful and rich tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books were in high demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. |
