The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, mostly, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks used many herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused an eruption in recipe books, some of which still exist in academic collections. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cook books are in great demand, as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
