The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, generally, these early records were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the baking 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. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of his times used many spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise such as bay, rue and asafoetida. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused a torrent in publications on food, some of which are now in private cookery archives. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe strove to serve the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are greatly in demand due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
