The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be found way back into history, in truth as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient recipes were just very simple pictorial recipes for preparing food.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to Professor Solomon Katz, is a collection of ancient tablets in the Sumerian language 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 having made anyone who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius compiled a collection of documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, Apicius recounts how the meals were split into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. Aspicius tells us how the chefs of Roman times used a good variety of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like basil, mint and parsley. As our culinary historical trip moves to more modern times there were a couple of interesting cookery books dating from the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are not about the indian food that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs led to a torrent in recipe manuscripts, most of which still exist in private libraries. By the arrival of the twentieth century, cookery publications are increasing in popularity due to better eduction, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
