The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `blissful`. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich strove to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
