The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced far back into distant history, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs used many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like thyme, mint and dill. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 20th century, cook books were highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. |
