The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to follow the history of recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the ancient cooks used many different aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the upper classes competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books are in great demand, as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
