The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of meal recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, these, ancient records were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians are a few clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into starters, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of Roman times used many different spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, rue and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the upper classes competed with each other to serve up the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, testing, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and having more money. |
