The History of Recipes
It is quite possible to track the history of recipes back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as ancient Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Interestingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the making 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 wonderful. During Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius assembled a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he recounts how the meals were separated into appetizers, main course and dessert, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the Roman cooks were skilled in the use of many herbs and spices, including some familiar names for example bay, mint and asafoetida. Closer to modern times, there are some books which date from the 1300s ; one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these two books are unconnected to the indian food that is familiar to us all today, but rather recipes for the types of meals enjoyed by the rich and powerful of the time. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the Middle-East, including spices like coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes caused an outbreak in publications on food, many of which still exist in private collections. By the arrival of the 20th century, cookery books are highly popular mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased spare time and having more money to spend. |
