The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into starters, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know such as basil, fennel and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from the East, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations was responsible for an increase in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
