The History of Recipes
We are able to trace the history of written recipes way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, these, old recipes were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to academics are a few clay 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 anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts describing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he tells us how the Romans made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like bay, rue and parsley. As we move on, there were a couple of interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared for the rich and wealthy people of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an increase in recipe books, many of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the 20th century, cookery publications are in great demand, mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
