The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes far back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, fennel and parsley. During the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books are in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more free time and having more money to spend. |
