The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to trace the history of written cooking instructions far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, sadly, these ancient cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into starters, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius also informs us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including many that are still in use today for example basil, fennel and dill. Moving on, there were a couple of interesting recipe books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they have no connection with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich people of the period. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and coriander. These new spices and herbs was responsible for an explosion in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery books are in high demand, mostly as a result of better eduction, people having increased leisure time and disposable income. |
