The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed back into history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old records were just very basic hieroglyphic recipes for preparing meals.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a collection of stone tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel `blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius compiled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the ancient cooks made use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and dill. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there are a couple of recipe books published in the 14th Century ; a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared for the nobility of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes prompted an explosion in recipe books, many of which are now in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications are highly popular as a result of better eduction, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
