The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes back into history, at least as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts describing recipes prepared by the Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of Roman times used many different herbs, including some that we all recognise for example thyme, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an increase in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private collections. During the following few hundred years, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the best banquets, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. However, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that formal cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are in great demand, due to better eduction, leisure time and having more money. |
