The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians are some stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking 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 `blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, mint and dill. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a surge in books on cooking, many of which are now in private libraries. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and rich houses competed with each other to serve the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were much in demand. However, it was during the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 1900s, cook books were in high demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
