The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, at least as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians are a few tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cookery and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications were highly popular due to more people being able to read, leisure time and having more money to spend. |
