The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes way back into history, certainly as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and asafoetida. As we move on, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the 1300s : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich people of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created an eruption in recipe books, some of which are now in private libraries. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, spent years to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications are in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
