The History of Recipes
We can track the history of meal recipes far back into history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the early Romans made use of a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and parsley. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and rich houses tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased spare time and disposable income. |
