The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be observed back into the distant past, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, sadly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main meal and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and parsley. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications are highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
