The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into distant history, certainly as far back as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the ancient Romans made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs created a surge in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Europe competed with each other to serve the most exotic banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Even so, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated years of their lives to collecting, testing, and recording recipes common in their social group. By the advent of the 20th century, recipe books were in high demand, mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and having more disposable income. |
