The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into history, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some ancient 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 making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the Romans made use of a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. |
