The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some ancient tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example basil, mint and dill. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses tried to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
