The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language describing 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 blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius recounts how the Roman chefs used many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as basil, mint and asafoetida. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are in high demand, due to increased literacy, more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
