The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation 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. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the Roman chefs used a wide range of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise like basil, mint and parsley. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were greatly in demand due to better eduction, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
