The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be observed far back into the distant past, certainly as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these early cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which show 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 blissful and exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, mint and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there were two books from the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are not about the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the rich and powerful of that period. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes led to an increase in recipe books, many of which still exist in academic collections. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications were starting to become popular due to increased literacy, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
