The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few clay 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 making anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications were in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and having more money. |
