The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be tracked far back into ancient history, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a series of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 drinkers feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. Additionally, he tells us how the ancient Romans made use of many spices, including some familiar names for example bay, fennel and dill. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were a couple of cookery books which date from the 14th Century ; a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared for the rich and powerful of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas caused an outbreak in cookery books, most of which still exist in private collections. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery books were highly popular mostly due to higher levels of literacy, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth. |
