The History of Recipes
Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, generally, these early recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics are some stone tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel exhilarated. During Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he tells us how the roman meals were separated into starters, main meal and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Romans were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have some books which date from the fourteenth century - a cookery book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the indian food that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of food eaten by the upper classes of the period. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an eruption in recipe publications, many of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking books are greatly in demand mostly due to more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
