The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to follow the history of written cooking instructions back into distant history, in fact as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some clay tablets in Sumerian 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 having made anyone who tried it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, main meal and afters, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius describes how the Romans made use of a wide range of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, rue and asafoetida. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two books from the fourteenth century : a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books are unconnected to the curry that we all know today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the tables of the upper classes. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an eruption in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are now in private libraries. When we get to the twentieth century, cookery publications are starting to become popular due to better eduction, people having increased spare time and being a little richer. |
