The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes way back into distant history, certainly as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. However, mostly, these early recipes were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are a few stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation 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`. During Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the cooks of Roman times used many different herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as bay, fennel and dill. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of recipe books dating from the 1300s : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of food cooked for the nobility of that period. Later, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes created an eruption in books on cookery, most of which still exist in academic collections. By the time we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications were highly popular due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and being a little richer. |
