The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including many that are still in use today like thyme, mint and parsley. During the following few centuries, the powerful and rich houses competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
