The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these early recipes were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he tells us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many herbs, including some familiar names like bay, fennel and parsley. During the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books were greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, people having increased spare time and having more disposable income. |
