The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` way back into the far past, certainly as far back into recorded history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered, according to academics is a series of clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount 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. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts detailing recipes prepared by the Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef informs us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including many that are still in use today such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. As we move on, we have a couple of cookery books dating from the fourteenth century ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but rather descriptions of the types of food enjoyed by the upper classes of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab cooking, such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an explosion in recipe manuscripts, the majority of which still exist in private collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery books are starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and having more money. |
We hope you enjoy this Kisses recipe.
