The History of Recipes

It is quite feasible to follow the history of recipes back into history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which show 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 drinkers feel exhilarated.

Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the ancient chefs made use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and asafoetida.

During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers.

By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books were in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend.
