The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans made use of a good variety of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example basil, rue and asafoetida. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books were highly popular due to better eduction, increased leisure time and having more money. |
