The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of `recipes` far back into history, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, something we still use today. Aspicius informs us how the cooks of his times made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, mint and dill. As we move on, we find some books which appeared in the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the rich and powerful. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new culinary innovations created an increase in books on cookery, most of which are now in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 20th century, cook books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, more spare time and having more money. |
