The History of Recipes
Historians have traced the existance of recipes way back into history, in fact as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic instructions for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history is a series of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `wonderful`. During the time of the Roman Empire a roman called Apicius compiled a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. He also informs us how the ancient Romans were skilled in the use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, mint and dill. As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there were a couple of books published in the fourteenth century : a book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are not about the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead accounts of the types of food cooked for the rich people of that period. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices like parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an increase in manuscripts on cookery, some of which are now in private cookery archives. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery publications are greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
