The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found way back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise like basil, fennel and asafoetida. During the following few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books are in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
