The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early recipes were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel blissful. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including many that are still in use today for example basil, mint and dill. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes led to a torrent in publications on food, many of which are now in private cookery archives. During the succeeding few centuries, the rich families of Europe competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and because of this the best cooks and their recipe collections increased in prestige. However, it was during the nineteenth century that fine cookery and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, spent years to collecting, testing, and recording recipes of the day. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking publications are highly popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
