The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of written cooking instructions back into the distant past, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these old cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are some tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including parsley and basil. These new foods and spices prompted an outbreak in recipe books, some of which are now in private libraries. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe strove to serve up the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections became highly prized. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking books are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
