The History of Recipes
Food historians have traced the existence of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe found, according to historians are some ancient 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 tried it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times made use of many spices, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and dill. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were some books published in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books have no connection with the curry that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations caused an explosion in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are now in academic collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich and powerful families of Europe strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 19th century that cooking and recipe collections rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
