The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of written recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just basic pictorial instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel wonderful and blissful. Later on, in The time of the roman empire 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into starters, entrees and afters, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he informs us how the Roman cooks made use of many spices and herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like basil, mint and parsley. Later, we have a couple of cookery books which were published in the 14th Century : a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the spicy food that we all know today, but instead descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the nobility of that period. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy lands, including parsley, basil and rosemary. These new foods and spices was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cookery, most of which are now in academic collections. By the time we get to the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular mostly as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
