The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. He also informs us how the Roman chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and asafoetida. For the next few years, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to serve the best banquets, and because of this chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books are increasing in popularity due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
