The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced way back into antiquity, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names like basil, mint and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 20th century, cookery books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
