The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into the far past, at least as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the making 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 `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, mint and dill. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Europe tried to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking books were increasing in popularity mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
