The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed back into antiquity, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the cooks of his times used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example bay, rue and asafoetida. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West tried to lay on the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books were increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
