The History of Recipes
We can track the history of written recipes way back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into starters, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking books are in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
