The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existence of recipes way back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. He also describes how the ancient cooks used many different spices and herbs, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and asafoetida. Over the next few centuries, the powerful families of the West tried to serve up the best banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are starting to become popular due to increased literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. |
