The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into history, at least as far back into history as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian 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 blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a few documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were divided into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also recounts how the Roman chefs used many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, mint and dill. Moving on, we find some recipe books from the fourteenth century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food cooked for the upper classes of that time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab cuisine, including spices like parsley and basil. These new foods and tastes created an increase in books on cookery, many of which are now in private collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cook books were in great demand, due to higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
