The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient cook books were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to food historians is a series of stone 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 having made people feel exhilarated and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, something we still use today. He also recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise such as thyme, fennel and dill. Moving on, we find some books which date from the fourteenth century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the nobility of the period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices like basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books are greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. |
