The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes far back into the distant past, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, these, ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts in ancient history is a series of tablets in 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 making drinkers feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the roman meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the Roman chefs used many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as bay, fennel and parsley. Later, there were two interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of food cooked for the rich people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created an outbreak in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books are in high demand, mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
