The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, rue and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the families of Europe competed to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks were highly popular due to better eduction, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
