The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, generally, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of clay 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 anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also describes how the ancient chefs used a good variety of spices, including a few you will know such as basil, mint and asafoetida. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. |
