The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be tracked way back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, generally, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the ancient chefs used many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, fennel and parsley. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to serve up the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. |
