The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes back into antiquity, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of tablets in 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 having made drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more money. |
