The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes back into the distant past, in truth as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman chefs used a wide range of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. During the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications were in great demand, as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
