The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed way back into the far past, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `blissful`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the Roman chefs used many herbs, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations prompted an eruption in cookery books, many of which are now in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed to offer the most exotic meals, and as a result chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
