The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found far back into history, certainly as far back into recorded history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts is a series of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel wonderful and blissful. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. He also describes how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, fennel and dill. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of cookery books which were published in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books have no connection with the indian food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and wealthy people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and spices from Arab cuisine, including parsley and basil. These new spices and herbs created an explosion in recipe publications, some of which are now in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, cook books were highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and disposable income. |
