The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient 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 making anyone who drank it feel blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created some documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs used a wide range of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, rue and parsley. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
