The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of recipes far back into history, certainly as far into history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, mostly, these old records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in ancient 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 making anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef describes how the Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens for example bay, fennel and asafoetida. Moving on, we find a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are not about the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food cooked for the wealthy. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices created an increase in recipe publications, most of which are now in private libraries. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cook books were in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
