The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed way back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and afters, something we still use today. He also tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names like bay, rue and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. |
