The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into the far past, certainly as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including some familiar names such as basil, rue and asafoetida. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
