The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be traced back into the distant past, at least as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including some familiar names such as basil, mint and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes led to a torrent in publications on food, the majority of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the next few hundred years, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve up the best banquets, and consequentially cooks and their recipe collections were highly sought after. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and cookery books really came of age. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and writing down popular recipes of the day. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were highly popular due to better eduction, more free time and being a little richer. |
