The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into distant history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, generally, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the Romans made use of many spices, including some familiar names for example basil, fennel and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including rosemary and coriander. These new culinary innovations created an eruption in recipe publications, most of which are kept safe in private collections. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to lay on the best banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, testing, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and being a little richer. |
