The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced far back into antiquity, certainly as far as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount 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, wonderful and blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also tells us how the early Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. Over the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to lay on the most exotic banquets, and as a result chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. However, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes common in their social group. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
