The History of Recipes
Food historians have proved the existence of recipes far back into ancient history, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including some that we all recognise like bay, mint and asafoetida. Later on, we have two recipe books which date from the 1300s : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to a surge in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. For the centuries that followed, the rich families of the West competed to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe collections became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, trying out, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. By the advent of the twentieth century, cooking publications were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, more spare time and having more money to spend. |
