The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of recipes way back into antiquity, certainly as far back into history as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, generally, these early records were just simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians are a few ancient 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 drinkers feel `wonderful`. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and dill. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices was responsible for an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. For the decades that followed, the rich and powerful families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipe collections were at a premium. Even so, it was during the 19th century that cooking and recipe publications rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Merritt Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes common in their social group. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookery books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
