The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed far back into ancient history, certainly as far into history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Interestingly, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to experts in ancient history are a few stone tablets in Sumerian which recount 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 anyone who tried it feel exhilarated and blissful. Later on, in Roman times 25BC a roman called Apicius created a collection of documents describing recipes cooked by his fellow Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the early Romans were skilled in the use of a good variety of herbs, including a few you will know such as bay, fennel and asafoetida. Closer to modern times, there were a couple of interesting recipe books dating from the 1300s : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another named `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that appears on menues today, but rather recipes for the types of meals prepared for the rich and powerful. In the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an eruption in books on cookery, some of which are now in private libraries. By the arrival of the 1900s, cookery books are in high demand, mostly due to higher levels of literacy, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
