The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these early records were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius tells us how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as bay, mint and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery books are highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. |
