The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be observed back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these old cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who tried it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many aromatic flavours, including a few you will know for example thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy land, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a surge in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the following few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and recipe publications became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
