The History of Recipes
Experts have tracked the existance of recipes way back into distant history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old cook books were just primitive hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in Sumerian describing 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 exhilarated. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many herbs and spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, mint and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have a couple of interesting cookery books which appeared in the 14th Century - a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new foods and spices prompted an increase in books on cookery, the majority of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more spare time and a general increase in wealth. |
