The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` back into the far past, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 people feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman cooks used many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, rue and parsley. During the next few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications are in high demand, due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. |
