The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 people feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the cooks of his times used many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the rich families of the West competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, more free time and having more money. |
