The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the making 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 `blissful`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and asafoetida. Over the following few hundred years, the families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks were greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
