The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of written recipes far back into history, in fact as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these ancient records were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe 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 those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts which described recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and afters, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens like thyme, fennel and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two books from the fourteenth century : a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these are nothing to do with the spicy food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food eaten by the rich and wealthy people of that period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes prompted a surge in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. When we get to the 1900s, recipe books were starting to become popular due to increased literacy, more leisure time and having more money to spend. |
