The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he describes how the Romans used many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, mint and dill. During the next few centuries, the powerful families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
