The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes back into history, in fact as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, generally, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also recounts how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including many that are still in use today for example basil, mint and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications are greatly in demand due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
