The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the Roman chefs used a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example bay, fennel and parsley. During the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books are in high demand, as a result of better eduction, people having more free time and having more disposable income. |
