The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, in fact as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as basil, mint and parsley. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books 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, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, leisure time and disposable income. |
