The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes way back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 `blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something we still use today. He also recounts how the ancient Romans used a good variety of herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today such as basil, fennel and dill. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money. |
