The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of his times used a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and dill. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Europe strove to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. |
