The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into antiquity, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that is, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of ancient tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 exhilarated and blissful. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today like bay, fennel and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are not about the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of those days. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an increase in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Europe tried to serve up the most exotic meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes increased in prestige. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes to help cooks of their time. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
