The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into history, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into starters, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise like thyme, fennel and dill. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery publications are increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
