The History of Recipes
We are able to follow the history of `recipes` back into history, in truth as far back as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to food historians are a few ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian 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 those who drank it feel `exhilarated, wonderful and blissful`. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Additionally, he informs us how the ancient cooks were skilled in the use of many spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like bay, mint and asafoetida. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we have some books from the 1300s - a cookery book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of food prepared by the chefs of the upper classes of that period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an outbreak in recipe books, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. When we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are greatly in demand due to better eduction, increased leisure time and having more money to spend. |
