The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes back into the far past, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe in existence, according to historians is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making 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 and exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the early Romans made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and spices from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an increase in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private collections. For the decades that followed, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, chefs and their recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording popular recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were in great demand, as a result of more people being able to read, more spare time and having more money. |
