The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existence of recipes back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these ancient records were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some 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 having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example thyme, mint and parsley. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe publications were starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
