The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into the far past, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient chefs used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, rue and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. Over the following few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collecting, trying out, and recording the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more free time and having more money. |
