The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be observed far back into distant history, at least as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. However, in the main part, these early cookbooks were just primitive hieroglyphic recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to experts are a few clay tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made drinkers feel wonderful and blissful. Much later, in Roman times a roman called Apicius created some scripts detailing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. Aspicius recounts how the ancient cooks made use of a good variety of spices, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, fennel and asafoetida. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find some recipe books dating from the 1300s - a recipe book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, these two books are nothing to do with the spicy food that appears on menues today, but instead descriptions of the types of food on the menus of the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many spices and herbs from the East, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new herbs and spices created an outbreak in cookery books, some of which are kept safe in academic collections. When we get to the twentieth century, cookbooks are in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, leisure time and disposable income. |
