The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the chefs of Roman times used many herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example bay, mint and dill. For the next few years, the powerful and rich competed to offer the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks are in great demand, due to better eduction, more free time and being a little richer. |
