The History of Recipes
It is possible to track the history of `recipes` far back into the far past, certainly as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, generally, these ancient recipes were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
In fact, the oldest recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of clay tablets in ancient Sumerian which describe the preparation 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 `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the romans around 25BC a roman called Apicius created a number of documents detailing recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he recounts how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. This early Roman chef recounts how the early Romans were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few you will know for example thyme, fennel and dill. Later, we find a couple of recipe books which date from the 14th Century - a recipe book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these have no connection with the indian food that is served today, but instead recipes for the types of meals eaten by the rich people of those days. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and spices caused an explosion in publications on food, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the time we get to the 1900s, cookbooks were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, people having more spare time and disposable income. |
