The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existence of recipes back into history, at least as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these old cook books were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in ancient 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`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example basil, mint and dill. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications are in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
