The History of Recipes
We can read the history of meal recipes way back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 making anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times used many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and dill. Later on, there are a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of food on the tables of the rich people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an eruption in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the next few hundred years, the powerful families of the West strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
