The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into the distant past, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, these, ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians are some stone tablets in Sumerian 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 exhilarated and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few documents detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few you will know like basil, rue and asafoetida. Moving on, we find a couple of cookery books which were published in the 14th Century : a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of that period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, such as basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an eruption in recipe manuscripts, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. During the next few hundred years, the upper classes competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. Nevertheless, it was during the 19th century that haute cuisine and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, trying out, and publishing recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
