The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of `recipes` back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 people feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created some documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient chefs made use of a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know like basil, mint and dill. During the next few centuries, the rich families of the West competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
