The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` way back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which show the making 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 drank it feel `wonderful`. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times used many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and dill. Over the next few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Even so, it was during the 19th century that fine cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 20th century, cookery books were in great demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
