The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 tried it feel wonderful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius created some scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the Romans made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, fennel and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
