The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes way back into the far past, in truth as far back as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. However, sadly, these early records were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the baking 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 blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius tells us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, rue and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices was responsible for an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which still exist in academic collections. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks are in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and disposable income. |
