The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, sadly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in ancient 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 making anyone who tried it feel blissful. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius also describes how the Roman chefs made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as bay, rue and parsley. Moving on, we have a couple of cookery books which date from the 14th Century : one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals served to the rich people of those days. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an explosion in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are kept safe in academic collections. During the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Europe competed to lay on the most exotic meals, and consequentially cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that formal cookery and cookery books reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. By the advent of the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, more free time and being a little richer. |
