The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, mostly, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, mint and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are a couple of cookery books published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, they are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes was responsible for an increase in recipe books, the majority of which are now in academic collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and cookery books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 20th century, recipe books are highly popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
