The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of meal recipes back into ancient history, at least as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. In practice though, generally, these ancient recipes were just primitive hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 `blissful`. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some that we all recognise for example basil, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused a torrent in books on cooking, most of which are now in private libraries. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes became highly prized. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe books became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and writing down recipes common in their social group. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, increased leisure time and disposable income. |
