The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history are some ancient 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 people feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the Romans used a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example basil, fennel and parsley. Moving on, we find two books from the fourteenth century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs caused an increase in recipe publications, some of which are now in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books are starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
