The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed back into history, certainly as far back as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, mostly, these ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some tablets in Sumerian which describe 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 wonderful and blissful. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a few scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example basil, fennel and dill. Later on, we find a couple of cookery books dating from the 1300s - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food served to the rich people of the time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an eruption in recipe books, many of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookbooks were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, more spare time and being a little richer. |
