The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be tracked far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a surge in manuscripts on cooking, most of which still exist in academic collections. For the centuries that followed, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cooking and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
