The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed way back into the far past, at least as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, these, early cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe in existence, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making people feel exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a collection of scripts describing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the cooks of Roman times made use of many spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times we have two interesting books dating from the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but instead recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the upper classes of that time. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, parsley, and basil. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused an eruption in books on cooking, some of which are now in private collections. When we get to the 1900s, cooking books are in high demand, due to more people being able to read, people having more spare time and being a little richer. |
