The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be found way back into antiquity, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. However, in the main part, these early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the making 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 `blissful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the early Romans used a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like basil, mint and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we find a couple of interesting cookery books published in the 14th Century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and wealthy people of that period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices led to a surge in books on cookery, some of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 20th century, cook books were increasing in popularity as a result of more people being able to read, people having more free time and disposable income. |
