The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked far back into the far past, in fact as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. However, generally, these ancient records were just basic pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe in existence, according to experts are some 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 anyone who tried it feel wonderful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius created some documents showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by his fellow Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also informs us how the ancient cooks made use of a wide range of aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today like thyme, mint and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, we find some books from the 14th Century ; a recipe book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these are nothing to do with the indian curry that is served today, but rather recipes for the types of meals on the menus of the nobility of that period. In the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including parsley and basil. These new foods and spices prompted a surge in books on cookery, the majority of which are now in private collections. When we get to the 1900s, cookbooks are greatly in demand due to more people being able to read, people having more leisure time and disposable income. |
