The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in Sumerian 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 making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks used many different spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and parsley. During the following few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications were increasing in popularity due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
