The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes far back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language 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 drinkers feel blissful. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius describes how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many different spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, fennel and asafoetida. As we move on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the curry that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted a surge in manuscripts on food, the majority of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books were increasing in popularity as a result of increased literacy, people having increased free time and being a little richer. |
