The History of Cookbooks
While we have almost unlimited access to recipes online, cookbooks are timeless and traditional.
The first cookbook dates back to 1700 BCE and they have been a part of society ever since! Cookbooks are organized recipes that have been tested and edited prior to publishing with the purpose of being used and shared for a long period of time. Cookbooks allow us to access well-tested recipes that can be passed down through generations. They can also be a way to connect family through generations. It can be unreliable to save recipes we have found online, and we may not remember where that screenshot, PDF, or email with the recipe went! Cookbooks allow us to put our favorites on the shelf in the kitchen to take down whenever needed. Some other reasons to love cookbooks include ease of navigation, organization, the luxurious feeling of the pictures and glossy finishes, and the ability to write in a cookbook! Writing in a cookbook can include adjusting recipes, underlining, and jotting notes in the margins, all things that are more difficult to do with physical copies! Another reason to love cookbooks is the food safety aspect. It is a lot more sanitary to look over at a cookbook while preparing food than to be handling your phone or tablet!
