The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, these, ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians are some 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 people feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many different aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example thyme, mint and dill. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are highly popular as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
