The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existence of recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, early cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman cooks used many different spices and herbs, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new tastes prompted an explosion in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the next few centuries, the upper-class families of the West competed to serve up the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipe collections became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications were highly popular mostly as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and disposable income. |
