The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` far back into history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the Roman cooks used a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and parsley. For the decades that followed, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books are in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
