The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked back into the far past, in fact as far as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection 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 blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of Roman times used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as bay, rue and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications are starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
