The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, sadly, these old records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names for example basil, rue and dill. Later, there were some recipe books from the fourteenth century : a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices created an outbreak in recipe books, most of which still exist in private collections. For the decades that followed, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books were in great demand, due to better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
