The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes back into the far past, at least as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, these, early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay 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 anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, mint and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a torrent in publications on food, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the next few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cooking publications are in great demand, as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
