The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced far back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including a few you will know like basil, mint and parsley. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the East, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, many of which are kept safe in private collections. During the succeeding few centuries, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery publications were highly popular due to increased literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
