The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. However, these, old recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language which show the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also informs us how the Roman cooks made use of many herbs and spices, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find two interesting recipe books dating from the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals cooked for the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices led to a torrent in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, cook books are starting to become popular due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and having more money. |
