The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel wonderful. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius tells us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few you will know like basil, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices prompted an outbreak in books on cookery, many of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the following few hundred years, the rich families of Europe tried to offer the best banquets, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications are starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
