The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of written cooking instructions far back into the far past, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel `blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents which described recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as bay, fennel and parsley. Moving on, we find a couple of interesting cookery books published in the fourteenth century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the curry that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of food prepared by the chefs of the rich people of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, some of which still exist in academic collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks were increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and having more money. |
