The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian describing the preparation 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 wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes caused a torrent in books on cooking, most of which are now in private collections. Over the next few centuries, the families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most exotic meals, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and recording recipes of the day. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks were in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, leisure time and being a little richer. |
