The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, generally, these ancient cook books were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making people feel wonderful and blissful. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and afters, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise such as bay, fennel and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to a torrent in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private libraries. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it was during the nineteenth century the formal cooking and cookery books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery books are increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
