The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, generally, these early cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs used a wide range of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as basil, fennel and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper classes competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s 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, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookbooks were in great demand, due to better eduction, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
