The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians are some ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making people feel blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, fennel and dill. During the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cooking books are increasing in popularity due to more people being able to read, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
