The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of written cooking instructions back into antiquity, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, sadly, these early cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel wonderful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled some documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman cooks made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example thyme, rue and parsley. Later, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an increase in recipe books, many of which are now in private collections. During the following few centuries, the powerful families of Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and consequentially the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe publications were starting to become popular due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
