The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes way back into history, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the ancient chefs made use of a wide range of herbs, including some that we all recognise like thyme, rue and asafoetida. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications are starting to become popular mostly due to increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money. |
