The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. |
