The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be found back into history, in fact as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these early cookbooks were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of tablets in Sumerian which recount the preparation 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 wonderful. During the time of the Romans a man called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main course and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef recounts how the Roman chefs used a wide range of aromatic flavours, including some familiar names such as basil, fennel and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are some books which appeared in the 1300s - a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich people of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back a variety of foods and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs caused an increase in books on cookery, most of which still exist in private collections. When we get to the 20th century, cooking books were greatly in demand mostly as a result of increased literacy, more free time and having more disposable income. |
