The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes back into history, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, these, early records were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, mint and dill. Later on, there are some interesting books from the fourteenth century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the best banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections were much in demand. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications are greatly in demand due to higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more money. |
