The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into distant history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, these, ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are a few stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking 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 wonderful. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an outbreak in manuscripts on food, some of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a consequence, cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications were in high demand, due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more money to spend. |
