The History of Recipes
We are able to track the history of `recipes` far back into antiquity, in truth as far as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, these, early recipes were just simple pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 anyone who drank it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents describing recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, Apicius recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also recounts how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names like bay, rue and parsley. Later, we have two interesting books dating from the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals eaten by the upper classes of the time. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an explosion in books on cookery, many of which are now in academic collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are in high demand, due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and having more money. |
