The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to prove the history of transcribed cooking instructions way back into the far past, at least as far into history as pharonic Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
In fact, the oldest recipe found, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 anyone who tried it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of documents detailing recipes cooked by the Romans. He tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and dessert, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius tells us how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of spices and herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, rue and asafoetida. Later on, we have two recipe books which were published in the 14th Century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are nothing to do with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods and spices from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations led to a surge in recipe manuscripts, some of which still exist in private libraries. By the time we get to the 20th century, cooking books are in great demand, as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and disposable income. |
