The History of Recipes
Historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are some tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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, wonderful and blissful`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into starters, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like basil, rue and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookbooks are starting to become popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more spare time and having more money. |
