The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be found back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe in existence, according to academics are a few tablets in 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 making anyone who tried it feel blissful. Much later, in Roman times a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he describes how the ancient Romans made use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes led to a torrent in manuscripts on food, many of which still exist in academic collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, testing, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe books were highly popular mostly due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
