The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian 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. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few you will know like basil, mint and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books are highly popular due to better eduction, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
