The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes way back into history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman chefs made use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, fennel and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
