The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example bay, rue and dill. For the decades that followed, the rich families of the West competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
