The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, mostly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are a few clay tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, mint and asafoetida. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery books are highly popular as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more money. |
