The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into antiquity, in truth as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, generally, these old recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some stone tablets in Sumerian describing 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 drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, rue and dill. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations created an increase in publications on food, some of which are now in private libraries. During the following few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most exotic meals, and because of this the best chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 1900s, cookbooks are in high demand, mostly as a result of more people being able to read, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
