The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of meal recipes way back into antiquity, in truth as far into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. However, generally, these early cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe found, according to academics is a series of stone tablets in Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into starters, entrees and desserts, a very modern way of dining. This early Roman chef describes how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, mint and dill. Later on, there were two interesting recipe books which date from the 1300s : a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the indian curry that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals on the tables of the rich people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an outbreak in books on cookery, most of which are kept safe in academic collections. By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery books were starting to become popular mostly due to increased literacy, more spare time and having more disposable income. |
