The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existence of recipes back into antiquity, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example thyme, rue and dill. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and having more money. |
