The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into the distant past, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in ancient 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 having made anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the Roman chefs used a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know such as basil, mint and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are a couple of books from the fourteenth century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich people of those days. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an increase in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the best banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books are starting to become popular due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
