The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, these, old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are some tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the preparation 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`. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the early Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few you will know for example thyme, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the East, including spices like basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs prompted an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which still exist in academic collections. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections could command a high salary. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down the recipes of their peers. When we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are in high demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
