The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, these, ancient recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 those who drank it feel `wonderful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius recounts how the ancient cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example bay, mint and dill. During the next few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that haute cuisine and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
