The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be traced far back into antiquity, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius informs us how the ancient Romans made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an explosion in manuscripts on food, some of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to lay on the most exotic banquets, and because of this cooks and their recipes were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, cook books are starting to become popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, more free time and being a little richer. |
