The History of Recipes
Academics have found proof that recipes existed way back into the distant past, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old records were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in 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 making people feel wonderful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, rue and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of the West strove to lay on the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and having more money. |
