The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Over the succeeding few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are starting to become popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, more spare time and having more money. |
We hope you enjoy this Aunt Effie's Special recipe.
