The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of written cooking instructions way back into the far past, in truth as far as early Egypt, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these ancient records were just basic hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also describes how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices and herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and dill. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices led to a surge in publications on food, some of which still exist in academic collections. During the next few hundred years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and because of this chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe publications really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted much of their lives to assembling, testing, and writing down the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cooking books are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. |
