The History of Recipes
We can read the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in ancient 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 having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks used a good variety of spices, including some familiar names for example thyme, rue and dill. For the next few years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications were highly popular due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
