The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found way back into antiquity, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, old recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the preparation 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. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery books were in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
