The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of a wide range of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example bay, mint and parsley. Closer to modern times, we have a couple of cookery books dating from the 14th Century : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these books have no connection with the indian food that is popular today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich people of the time. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices caused an explosion in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
