The History of Recipes
Food historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. However, these, early cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius informs us how the Roman cooks made use of a good variety of herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, rue and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are nothing to do with the curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of those days. In the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the East, including spices like parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an outbreak in publications on food, many of which are now in private libraries. Over the following few hundred years, the powerful families of the West competed to lay on the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their recipe collections were highly sought after. Even so, it was during the 1800s that fine cookery and recipe collections became really popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, verifying, and publishing the recipes that were being prepared for the better households. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe books are highly popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
