The History of Recipes
Experts have proved the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these ancient recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food 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 having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some familiar names like bay, rue and dill. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe competed to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are highly popular due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money to spend. |
