The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of 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 making anyone who drank it feel `blissful`. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef recounts how the cooks of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few you will know such as bay, rue and dill. Moving on, there were some books which date from the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, such as basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created a torrent in books on cookery, many of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are greatly in demand mostly due to better eduction, more free time and having more disposable income. |
