The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be traced way back into history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further. However, mostly, these early cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian describing 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 people feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Progressing into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few you will know for example basil, rue and asafoetida. Moving on, there were a couple of interesting cookery books which date from the 14th Century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the rich and wealthy people of the time. Later, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy lands, including basil and rosemary. These new herbs and spices created a surge in cookery books, most of which are kept safe in private collections. By the advent of the 1900s, cookery publications are increasing in popularity mostly due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
