The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be observed way back into history, at least as far back into recorded history as the ancient Egyptians, and maybe further still. Having said that, sadly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.
Fascinatingly, the oldest recipe found, according to historians is a collection of clay tablets in Sumerian 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 anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. In his works, he describes how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into hors d`oeuvre, entrees and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. He also informs us how the Roman chefs made use of many different spices, including some that we all recognise for example bay, rue and asafoetida. As we move on, we find a couple of cookery books dating from the fourteenth century - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these have no connection with the indian curry that is popular today, but rather recipes for the types of food cooked for the rich and powerful. Later, in the fifteenth century, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes prompted an outbreak in recipe books, many of which still exist in private libraries. By the time we get to the 1900s, cook books were highly popular mostly due to better eduction, more leisure time and having more money. |
