The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of meal recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, these, early records were just primitive pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a series of clay tablets in Sumerian 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 making those who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, fennel and asafoetida. As we move on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 1300s - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich people of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created a torrent in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookbooks are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, more free time and being a little richer. |
