The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existance of recipes far back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, ancient recipes were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 `blissful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and parsley. Over the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West competed to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to collecting, verifying, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery books are highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money. |
