The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existence of recipes way back into ancient history, in truth as far as the Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to historians are some clay tablets in the Sumerian language describing the making 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 exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. He also describes how the ancient cooks used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two interesting cookery books from the fourteenth century ; one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the East, including basil and coriander. These new foods and tastes created a torrent in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the twentieth century, recipe books were increasing in popularity due to increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money. |
