The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` far back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making 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 The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius tells us how the early Romans made use of many aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as basil, mint and dill. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were in great demand, due to more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
