The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced way back into distant history, at least as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, old cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something we still use today. He also recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including some that we all recognise such as bay, mint and dill. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were a couple of interesting books which were published in the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the nobility of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations prompted an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, most of which still exist in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were in great demand, as a result of better eduction, more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
