The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of written cooking instructions way back into the distant past, in truth as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, rue and parsley. For the next few years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications are highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
