The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found back into the distant past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made people feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he describes how the ancient chefs used many different herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in recipe books, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful families of Wesstern Europe competed to serve the best banquets, and as a result chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe publications became really popular. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, devoted their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes common in their social group. When we get to the 20th century, recipe publications were highly popular due to increased literacy, leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
