The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes way back into history, in fact as far back as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of stone tablets in 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, fennel and dill. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books are in high demand, due to better eduction, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
