The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which show the baking 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 `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, rue and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices prompted a surge in recipe books, the majority of which are now in private libraries. For the decades that followed, the upper classes tried to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
