The History of Recipes
Historians have tracked the existence of recipes far back into the far past, in truth as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a collection of tablets in ancient 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 drinkers feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. He also recounts how the Roman chefs used many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know like thyme, rue and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we find two interesting recipe books dating from the fourteenth century - a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the rich people of that time. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an outbreak in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookbooks were starting to become popular mostly due to better eduction, people having increased free time and having more disposable income. |
