The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be traced far back into the far past, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, generally, these ancient recipes were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics are a few ancient tablets in Sumerian describing 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 drinkers feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Additionally, he describes how the Roman chefs used a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused a torrent in books on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. During the following few hundred years, the rich and powerful families of the West strove to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collecting, verifying, and recording the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery books were greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, leisure time and having more disposable income. |
