The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, mostly, these early recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some stone tablets in Sumerian which show the making 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, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including many that are still in use today like basil, mint and dill. As we move on, we have some books which were published in the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from the East, such as rosemary and coriander. These new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are now in academic collections. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
