The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes far back into distant history, in truth as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, mostly, these old recipes were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are a few ancient tablets in 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 people feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a collection of documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient chefs were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as basil, fennel and dill. Later, we find two interesting cookery books which date from the fourteenth century - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the nobility of that period. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices caused a surge in manuscripts on cookery, the majority of which are now in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, cook books were increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and disposable income. |
