The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these old records were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some clay tablets in Sumerian 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 making people feel blissful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient chefs used a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, mint and parsley. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
