The History of Recipes
We can track the history of `recipes` back into history, at least as far into history as early Egypt, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history 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 anyone who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavours, including some familiar names for example thyme, mint and dill. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley and basil. These new culinary innovations prompted a torrent in recipe publications, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. For the next few years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially chefs and their recipe collections increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and recipe collections really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, spent years to collating, trying out, and writing down the recipes of their peers. By the advent of the twentieth century, recipe publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
