The History of Recipes
It is possible to trace the history of `recipes` far back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. He also tells us how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are not about the spicy food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food prepared by the cooks of the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created an increase in cookery books, the majority of which still exist in private collections. During the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses tried to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books are increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, people having more spare time and having more disposable income. |
