The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` way back into history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. However, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are some tablets in ancient Sumerian which show 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 drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also describes how the ancient chefs used many herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and parsley. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are highly popular as a result of better eduction, more free time and disposable income. |
