The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, these, early records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a surge in manuscripts on cookery, some of which still exist in private libraries. For the centuries that followed, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s the formal cooking and recipe publications became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, leisure time and being a little richer. |
