The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be traced back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, these, ancient records were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians 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 making drinkers feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example bay, rue and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an eruption in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that fine cookery and recipe publications became popular. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications are highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
