The History of Recipes
Food historians have tracked the existance of recipes far back into the far past, certainly as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few clay tablets in ancient 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 making people feel `wonderful`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something we still use today. He also describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, fennel and parsley. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an explosion in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private libraries. During the succeeding few hundred years, the powerful and rich competed to lay on the most extravagent banquests, and because of this chefs and their recipe collections were greatly in demand. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookbooks are highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, leisure time and being a little richer. |
