The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of many spices, including some that we all recognise for example basil, mint and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are highly popular as a result of better eduction, more spare time and having more money. |
