The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked way back into antiquity, in fact as far as the ancient Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Having said that, sadly, these early records were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of tablets in 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the ancient Romans made use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like bay, rue and parsley. Continuing our culinary historical journey, there were two books which date from the fourteenth century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are not about the spicy food that is popular today, but instead recipes for the types of food served to the rich. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, including basil and coriander. These new foods and spices was responsible for an increase in cookery books, many of which are now in private collections. When we get to the 20th century, cookery books were starting to become popular mostly due to more people being able to read, more leisure time and disposable income. |
