The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked way back into distant history, in fact as far as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these ancient records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians are a few stone 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 having made anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the East, including parsley and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to an outbreak in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private libraries. During the following few hundred years, the upper-class families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best cooks and their recipe collections were at a premium. Notwithstanding that, it was during the 1800s that fine cooking and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted much of their lives to collating, testing, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking books are in great demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
