The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, these, old recipes were just very simple pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 wonderful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and dill. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications were in great demand, mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and disposable income. |
