The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of written recipes back into ancient history, certainly as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these old recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient chefs made use of many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example bay, mint and parsley. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the 1300s : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are not about the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich and powerful of those days. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices prompted a torrent in manuscripts on food, many of which are now in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of the West competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications were in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. |
