The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as basil, rue and asafoetida. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century the formal cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
