The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked back into the distant past, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further. However, these, old records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an outbreak in publications on food, most of which are now in private cookery archives. For the decades that followed, the powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their collection of recipes became highly prized. However, it wasn`t until the 1800s that formal cookery and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, testing, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books are in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. |
