The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius created a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like basil, mint and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the Middle-East, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an explosion in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of the West strove to serve the most extravagent banquests, and as a result the best cooks and their recipes became highly prized. However, it was during the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe publications reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and writing down recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. When we get to the 20th century, cooking publications were greatly in demand as a result of increased literacy, more leisure time and disposable income. |
