The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes back into history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of 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 having made those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. |
