The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced way back into the far past, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a collection of 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, mint and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of the West tried to lay on the best banquets, and as a result cooks and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books were increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
