The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes far back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and dill. During the following few centuries, the families of Europe strove to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that haute cuisine and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks were starting to become popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and having more money. |
