The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these old cook books were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few tablets in the Sumerian language which describe 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 those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the Romans used a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, fennel and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an eruption in manuscripts on cookery, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. During the next few centuries, the powerful and wealthy houses strove to offer the most extravagent banquests, and as a consequence, the best chefs and their recipes were highly sought after. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century the formal cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, devoted their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books are greatly in demand as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
