The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes back into history, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early records were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are a few tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 `blissful`. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of his times used a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like thyme, fennel and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books are in high demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
