The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be traced far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these ancient cookbooks were just very basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts is a collection of 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 people feel `wonderful`. During the time of the Romans a roman called Apicius wrote some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals were split into appetizers, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the cooks of Roman times used a wide range of spices, including many that are still in use today like basil, rue and dill. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find a couple of books which appeared in the fourteenth century ; a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these two books have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods and herbs from Arab countries, including spices like parsley and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices led to an outbreak in books on cooking, many of which still exist in private cookery archives. When we get to the 20th century, cook books are greatly in demand mostly as a result of more people being able to read, people having increased spare time and disposable income. |
