The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to trace the history of transcribed cooking instructions back into the far past, in fact as far back into recorded history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, these, old cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in ancient 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 anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of scripts which described recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something we still use today. Aspicius also describes how the Romans made use of a good variety of spices, including a few you will know like basil, fennel and parsley. Later, there were two interesting cookery books published in the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of those days. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy lands, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas led to a surge in recipe manuscripts, most of which are kept safe in private collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, cookery books are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more money. |
