The History of Recipes
It is actually possible to trace the history of recipes back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these old cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of clay 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the Romans made use of many aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, fennel and parsley. As we move on, we have a couple of interesting cookery books published in the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menues of the nobility of the period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
