The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` way back into ancient history, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, mostly, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs used a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know like basil, mint and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an increase in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private collections. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books were in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, more leisure time and having more money. |
