The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to track the history of recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian describing the making 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. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and dill. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, trying out, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books are in high demand, due to better eduction, more spare time and having more money. |
