The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked way back into history, in fact as far as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, ancient records were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to academics is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were divided into starters, main course and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman cooks used many herbs, including some familiar names such as thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two books published in the fourteenth century ; a cookery book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, they are not about the indian food that is popular today, but instead accounts of the types of meals cooked for the rich people of that time. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from Arab cooking, including spices like basil and coriander. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an increase in recipe publications, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, cookery publications are starting to become popular as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased leisure time and having more disposable income. |
