The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` way back into history, certainly as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new herbs and spices prompted an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in private libraries. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and consequentially the best cooks and their recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cooking and cookery books rose to prominence. 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 publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books are in great demand, due to better eduction, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
