The History of Recipes
Experts have found proof that recipes existed way back into history, in fact as far back as the Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, early cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to academics is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian 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 drinkers feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there are some books which were published in the 14th Century : a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich and powerful of those days. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to an eruption in books on cookery, the majority of which still exist in private collections. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are greatly in demand as a result of higher levels of literacy, more leisure time and having more disposable income. |
