The History of Recipes
Academics have proved the existance of recipes back into ancient history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and potentially, even further back. However, sadly, these ancient cookbooks were just very simple hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which show 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 people feel blissful. During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius created a number of scripts which described recipes prepared by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something we still use today. He also tells us how the chefs of Roman times were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as bay, mint and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years we have two interesting cookery books published in the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these books are unconnected to the curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead descriptions of the types of food eaten by the rich and powerful. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods and spices from middle-east cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices created a torrent in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking publications were increasing in popularity as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money. |
