The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes far back into the distant past, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 making people feel wonderful and blissful. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius tells us how the ancient chefs used many different spices, including some that we all recognise like bay, fennel and parsley. Moving on, there were a couple of books published in the fourteenth century : a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the indian food that is served today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the nobility of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy land, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused a surge in recipe manuscripts, some of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books were starting to become popular as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
