The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of meal recipes far back into distant history, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. In practice though, in the main part, these early records were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he tells us how the early Romans made use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few you will know such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes caused an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which are now in academic collections. For the decades that followed, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were in high demand, mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and disposable income. |
